My Mother has had the same single-lead pacemaker since 1993 and was just recently told the battery was low. Will be replaced in a few weeks but she is currently having symptoms of —-> chest pain,feeling faint,atrial fib. She had an ablation in August for AVRNT, went to ER and did CT Scan and CT Scan was normal. My question is What are the symptoms of a low pacemaker battery when everything else checks out normal? She was told a year ago (October 2005) battery was good for another 19 months.
